Frequently Asked Questions

The AQ2 lacks some of the refined resonance and projection of Sonor’s Signature or Proline drums, but it still provides a very respectable, musical tone.
It's a full wrap, meaning the drum is completely covered – it's more durable and consistent than a veneer.
The legs are functional and reliable, but a heavier hitter might find them a bit basic and prefer to upgrade them for added stability.
